    First off, I'd like to announce that I'm responding to this thread in the form of an announcement, actually two.

    I have to be honest. I'd like to see more announcements about people's intentions. What pinside needs is to be more like facebook so I can know when they are eating a sandwich or at a baseball game. Maybe integrate Alexa and give us announcements as people move room to room. This way I can plan my responses for bathroom breaks or when they take the trash out.

    Now I'm announcing that I will be reading other posts. Thank you.

    Seriously, its probably a good thing. The intention is to call out 'as an authority' that the 'new trend' is to 'ignore' some individual. In almost all of those cases its two people driving an off topic or tangential conversation which isn't productive.

    It's almost comical when it does happen, because if they just wanted the ignored user to know, they could just tell them directly. But its really there to broadcast and get additional support, and that's not really healthy for anyone.

    Ultimately pinside would be much better if everyone applied one simple rule. Never comment about a specific person, or more commonly, someone's opinion. Sadly this almost never happens.

    I try, sometimes I fail.
